Who Should I Start? Derek Carr or Cooper Kupp

Monday, October 28, 2:56 PM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) will practice on Wednesday in preparation for the team's Week 9 matchup, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Additionally, head coach Dennis Allen is "optimistic" he'll play on Sunday when the team lines up against the Carolina Panthers on the road. It's fantastic news for New Orleans, which has been without their starting quarterback since the team's loss in Week 5 to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Saints are reeling after their sixth-straight defeat, and while it isn't yet confirmed, Carr's activation would be a massive boost to the offense's outlook. If he does return in Week 9, he'll get a juicy matchup against a tissue-paper-soft Panthers defense. Keep an eye on his status over the coming days.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp returned from his four-game absence at the same time Puka Nacua came back, and they brought the offensive firepower along with them. Kupp registered eight targets, five receptions, 51 yards, and one touchdown to help push the team to a 3-4 record with the 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The only other pass-catcher with more targets was Nacua, and Kupp finished with the second-most receiving yards and longest catch of the game. He'll look to keep this momentum going in a Week 9 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.
